The Syrian Interior Ministry on Tuesday condemned what it described as a “criminal assault” targeting a security checkpoint in the western countryside of Sweida, an attack carried out by outlaw armed groups. The assault resulted in the martyrdom of one security officer and the injury of two others while they were on duty.
In a statement on Telegram, the Ministry said its units responded directly to the source of gunfire, leading to casualties among the attacking groups.
The Ministry stressed that such assaults are intended solely to undermine security and disrupt the lives of civilians in Sweida province, reaffirming its commitment to continue confronting any threats to public safety.
